Background
Following graduation from Dundee University Dental School I developed my clinical skills in general practice and the hospital service before entering into academic. I completed my PhD in Prosthodontics investigating the role of surface texture measurements as a clinical indicator of erosive tooth wear (sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline) at King's College London. Since joining 缅北禁地 as a Clinical Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry I have gained leadership experience in examinations, academic studies, clinical studies, student support and am the school's representative for Interprofessional Education.
